Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and forScore Sheet Music App Coming for iPad
Stephen Fry has been posting video and images from his brand new iPad this evening, but one set of images has been particularly revealing. Fry posted a screenshot from the app revealing that Autodesk SketchBook Pro is already available for the iPad:

Autodesk does currently have a mobile version of their Sketchbook App for iPhone and iPod Touch, but a Pro version taking advantage of the iPad's larger screen is intriguing.
Meanwhile, MGS Development has posted images revealing their upcoming sheet music app for the iPad called forScore:

ForScore will come with over 1300 pages of score, from 18 world-renowned composers, and almost 300 different pieces. The app will include the ability to make notes to yourself as well as a visual metronome. No word on pricing.

SketchBook Pro is great but you still have to draw with either your finger or a sausage stylus like the Pogo, which is a functional but inelegant workaround.

I almost wonder if the iPhone/iPod eco-system was just the beginning of apps. Looking at what I have seen/know so far the larger and/or more professional companies seem to be making a splash with the iPad. At least it seems that way.

Hopefully this will encourage will to start playing some music again. :p

And this is the first wave stuff that hasn't really yet begun to play to the device's strengths.

I'm not a musician, but the idea of using the iPad for sheet music makes me wish I was. It's really great seeing developers make apps that really benefit from the bigger screen. I don't want the iPad app store to be full of straight ports of iPhone apps, because the bigger screen really makes it capable of doing things that the iPhone just can't quite muster.

Pay no attention to these apps. As we all know, having been faithfully informed on these forums, the iPad is merely a giant iPhone and thus of no interest.
